What a typical arrogant comment!!
I sure as helll wouldn't want to switch places with your country!!!!!
They call Australia "the lucky country" which it is, and its where I'm staying.
I'm sure if you did a poll on the residents of Australia on whether they wanted to switch places it would be 100% against being like you.
Perhaps you should "get off your high horse".

All this talk of technology, when the best technology in the world is man himself, all the satellites in the world (or around the world) cannot match the mark 1 eyeball !
I assume you've never heard of laser-guided or heat-seeking missiles, correct?
And how do you aim the laser to guide the missile without the eye ?
The eye is far better as it is attached to the brain, which can reason far more soundly than any computer yet invented.
If the eye was outdated by technology, why do we still send in Special forces or Recon to gather intel ? Why, because no matter what technology you use, the mark 1 eyeball beats the lot, as it comes as part of the complete package.

Maybe a personal choice, but I just think sometimes we place a little too much faith in technology, after all wasnt a sleath plane brought down by some peasants with their hunting rifles ?
All those millions brought to earth by just a few quids worth of gunpowder and shot.
